Clearly I'm not the first person to make this observation, but there's a very odd thing about being a person in the their late 40s, where I grew up being the "kid who programmed the VCR"

My elders don't know how to use Excel (etc). Neither do my younger colleagues, which leaves me in the odd position of "how the bloody hell did you do that?" after I've, like, done a vlookup.

Bonus is that I can do 2 minutes of work, then go and spend 50 minutes in the kitchen (I'm WFH), occasionally wiggle my mouse (oor-er!) just in case, and they'll assume that what I've just sent them was an hour of solid hardcore work.

I am not in a mind, right now, to correct them.

@frederic Yes. People who couldn't be arsed to write a single word of documentation for their human colleagues suddenly don't have any issue at all with writing miles and miles of instructions for their AI colleagues.

Same for people who previously couldn't find time to mentor a student or new junior colleague because "it's too much work to describe the task in enough detail". For their LLM? No problem at all. 🤷
That's the one that really gets under my skin.

Consider the following: rust rewrites of projects like coreutils exist purely to remove copyleft licensing. The supposed security and performance gains are irrelevant, and while memory safety is important, logic bugs don’t suddenly cease to exist just because it was written in Rust.

Update: the Heltec v3 is here!!! 🥳

I'll keep you posted regarding my experiment with off-grid mesh communication.

And if you are intrigued about this world, there is a SUPERB documentary about it by @nastasiahadjadji on ARTE (thanks @stereo for the heads-up!)

French version: https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/126484-047-A/tracks/

German version: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/126484-047-A/tracks/

(most of the dialogue is in English so you could follow along even if you don't speak the two languages)

it's weird, isn't it? i thought non-compsci mathematicians being interested in formalisation would be a good thing, but mostly what it's gotten us is mathematicians pissing around trying to get confabulators to make them redundant.

then i remember that they always hated type theory anyway and have no inclination to learn how to use it.

just me, or is this poorly written?

— why all that waffle about opt-in when there is nothing to opt-in to and therefore no user setting

(jaded take: they're softening the blow before they start selling data and redefine what "consent" and "your data" means)

I have no idea what I'm gonna do if I don't get this coding job. I've applied for 100s of roles, I have a 100% failure rate with all the interviews I have had (even with good feedback).

Being an autistic worker sucks. So few jobs are WfH, even fewer of them actually involve NOT fucking other people up or making society worse.

It feels like I have to forge my own path, but that also has its huge downsides.

EDIT: got the $45!! Thank you so much!! 💜

I need help making ends meet for the remainder of the month. Part of my goal has been met on Bluesky, but help has dried up there. Anything helps. Including letting me know what Mutual Aid accounts to tag/follow.

I only need $45 more and I'm covered until payday. Please. Bills are covered, I just need some groceries and hygiene items to last the next week. I get my disability payment on the 1st of May.

$120/$120
